Having lived a dissolute youth as a particularly dissolute member of the aristocracy in renaissance England, he was banished from the country as a result of various unhealthy acts which will not be described here in detail, but according to a popular folk song involve "ye turnips and ye Bustie matrons". Escaping the Kings justice, he fled to join relatives on the Continent in a rowing boat. Whilst on the boat, he received a strikingly vivid divine vision (or so the stories tell), commanding him to give up his dissolute, depraved life, and become a Priest.

He is celebrated as a patron of the arts, and of the medicinal developments undertaken in various monasteries throughout Europe. Beautified following the celebrated "Holy Beer" incident, in which, during a particularly devastating time during the black plague, St. Ethelbert converted the waters of the Baggersee into beer, for comfort of the poor dying peasants.
